The question

What should we do with the money of a maid who ran away before the end of her contract, and we know nothing about her, given that the money is 120 Kuwaiti Dinars, which is the value of her salaries for three months that we were going to transfer to her home country, but the account number was lost?

The answer

We advise you to strive to deliver the money to the maid. If that is difficult, leave it with a judge if he accepts it, or give it as charity on her behalf if she is Muslim, or spend it on the welfare of Muslims if she is not Muslim. When she arrives, inform her of what has been done. If she approves, then all is well. Otherwise, give her her due, and the reward for the charity will be yours.
